Your interpretation of constitutional rights seems to be the problem here. There is no teaching of religion in public (government run) schools, but at the same time the military isnt going to show up and blow your teeth out of the back of your skull for practicing the wrong religion. You're free to practice any religion or none at all without fear of sanctioned persecution, but that doesn't mean the entire country is your personal venue to rant about some highly buoyant israelite.
If you can convince me of some practical, valuable reason for teaching religion in schools, I'd reconsider my stance, but considering there isn't any, I think you're gonna have a hard time doing it.

Should I start? I have offered no opinion regarding this, but have repeatedly stated the rights of the citizenry to voice and practice their rights within the system/schools. Did your M8 teach you to B8?
Such mighty straw men, marching in a column and in form so majestically to the open flame.
